    It might, it is supposed to be more powerful than the XBOX, which has 3 cores, ppc, running at 3.2ghz each, so, if Sony keep the linux pack, then we could buy >10ghz PC's for around £250-300

    not only cool but amazingly fast too, I think these consoles are really pushing what can be done with cells/processors now, the only problem I can see is the fact that these consoles have 512mb RAM, and 512mb RAM hold back an x2, think about a 10ghz monster.

    It's supposed to be around 500 usd when it comes out.

    EDIT: Ah, nevermind..didn't see that you were talking in pounds. Oh well.

    i've been a sony hater since the rootkit scandal personally. since then i've refused to fund them. i wouldn't be surprised if they did something similar with PS3 tbh.
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?
